Description

[Edit] [History]

Introduction

Axis & Allies Miniatures gives both novice wargamers and veteran grognards the ability to engage in historically authentic, squad-level tactical combat with detailed, 15mm(ish) scale, pre-painted plastic miniatures featuring varying degrees of rarity to enhance collectability.

A single skirmish can be played in under an hour, or, players can advance their custom-constructed squad through a meat grinder of combat, battling from the hedgerows of Brittany to the steps of the Reichs Chancellery.

Roll across the battlefield and on to victory. Amass an unstoppable fighting force of tanks, troops, artillery, aircraft and more - with the Axis and Allies Miniatures game. Challenge your friends to fast, head-to-head, skirmish combat. Recreate historical battles from World War II. Ready to play - no painting, no prepping.

This high-quality skirmish game is playable right out of the box. With these faithful reproductions of real WWII combat vehicles and fighting units, you can recreate historical battles from World War II with authentic Shermans, Panzers, infantry, and more! Or create your own battles!

The Two-Player Starter Set Contains:

  • 18 randomized, prepainted, durable plastic miniatures - 9 from the Base Set and 9 from Set II (*)
  • Full-color game stat cards
  • 6 double-sided, full-color battle maps.
  • Rulebook
  • Dice not included.

(*) Some starter sets contain 12 randomized miniatures, vs. 18.

Sets Currently Available

There are currently Five sets of pieces available in the game. Each one has basic units and expands the game, but can also be used as the basis for armies only from that set:

Base Set
The core for your War - troops, tanks, and more that form the basic building blocks for the game.

Set II (Eastern Front)
An expansion that introduces three new unit types (snipers, paratroopers, and cavalry) as well as troops from China, Poland, and Romania.

Contested Skies
Help from above. Contested Skies features fighter planes, antiaircraft guns, tank destroyers, motorcycles, forward observers and more.

D-Day
The assault on Fortress Europe begins with D-Day. Highlighting units and nations involved in Operation Overlord – including the debut of Canadian troops – D-Day features the introduction of battlefield obstacles: immobile, non nation-specific units like pillboxes and tank traps that add to the realism of game play. Fan requested favorites like the Supermarine Spitfire and Jagdtiger also roar into action.

Reserves
Escalate with the experimental. Deploy some of the most innovative and unusual units developed for the war, scramble fast-moving jets, and establish superiority with support units. Includes fan favorites such as Ranger and Fallschirmjäger units.

Axis and Allies Minis and Naval Campaign...
I will be updating the campaign often. At the moment it contains the first 4 scenarios, 3 land and 1 naval, up to the 16 Dec. 1939. Stay tuned for the invasion of Norway, which I'll include next week. It will be both naval and land. For all scenarios I include all the cards you'll need, ready to print on a single sheet. Enjoy and stay tuned for the updates. Next update should be in January.
